Pokemon Go‘s newest Throwback Challenge is about to start, with new tasks to complete and a chance to capture another Legendary Pokemon. Pokemon Go has started the rollout of its Hoenn Throwback Challenge, a new weekly challenge that pays homage to Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. The new Throwback Challenge has 9 different parts, each of which rewards players with a mix of berries, Pokemon encounters, and other prizes. Those who complete the challenge by next week will get an encounter with the Legendary Pokemon Groudon with the move Fire Punch. Pokemon Go is also having an event on conjunction with the challenge that increases the spawn rate of several Pokemon from the Hoenn region and adds the Shiny Skitty to the event.
Here is every part of the Hoenn Throwback Challenge, along with what rewards you’ll get for completing each task.
